Like, the box office take for Casino Royale looked like the GDP of a small, developing country at around $599 million. Or that over 250 movies have been filmed in Las Vegas over the last seven decades.

Who can blame them – it doesn't get much more blingy and flashy than in Vegas. And, what better way to unwind from a stressful day of shooting? The cast of Ocean's 11 sure thought it was a great way to while away their free time. Who's the better gambler – Matt Damon or George Clooney? No one's telling – the each gives that honor to the other one. We bet that it wasn't Matt. It is said that he lost $25 000 while gambling. George ended up building himself a casino. But it is Ben Affleck that has proven the best poker player – he even won the California State Poker Championship one year.
